Nh. Boiling, Superintendent OF the

Quest Mr. Boiling gave an explanation
of the plan he proposes to recommend

has already madcl for furnishing the

"Our pumps, he said, "crccted IN

SCHOOLS ABROAD.

The logic of school statistics Is at
tracing considerable attention In Eu-
rope. The French and English Journals
have been calling attention to the mum
Der Of schools per thousand OF the pop
ulation In the different European coun-
tries, and the cost per capita to the pop
ulation for their maintenance. From
these statistics 1t seems that the Rus
SLAMS pay less attention to education
than any other nation on the continent,
and Germany pays more. The number
Of schools In Russia Is placed at $4,000,
which, rs nearly as can be ascertHined,
IL one school for every 1890 inhabitants,
and this school has an actual average
attendance OF SO. Austria has one
school to every 1870 OF her people, but
this school contains on an average lOi
scholars. England, Spain and Italy,
each have one school for every GOO Of
the population, the average attendance
being, for Spain, SO to each school, for
England, 81, and for Italy, 40. The
cost, per capita, Of the population, Is
about Is cents In Italy; in Spain, 30
cents. and In England, 37I cents. Ger.
many has one school for every 700 OF her
population, but this school has an aver
age OF 100 pupils, for whose education
the country pays about 80 cents per
capita Of population. France pays 30
cents per capita for public education,
has one school to every 800 of her pOpu-
lation and averages 66 scholars for each
school. From these statistics 1t appears
that Germany sends more children to
school 10 proportion to her population,
and pays more capita for educational
purposes than any other European
country. Spain leads England in the
number Of pupils, and France leads
them both, standing very close second
to Germany. The English, next to the
Germans, pay most for educational pur-
poses, and France stands third in the
ranks. In Germany there is one pupil
In school out of every seven Of the pop
ulation;in France for every 74.5; in Eng
land one for every ll5; Spain one for
every l04-5 The American student of

Irish people. This very action, coupled
with the action Of the London Times, In
It's effort to stay this sweeping current,
by the interposition OF forged letters,
showing the native blood.thlrstiness OF
the Irish rulers-thls very action proves
that an Instructed public sentiment has
become force In the great court Of gov
eminent transactions. The nations are
growing to fear, understand and be
governed by the opinions of other ma
tions, In the management even OF their
own internal affairs. The whole history
of this Irish struggle proves this, and
in proving this gives assurance OF bet
ter day for the downtrodden and OPP
pressed people Of all lands. The day
has apparently come when the min
listers and psrliaments OF one nation can
not lightly esteem the opinions OF the
people of other nations, even concerning
their affairs OF internal and personal
government. O'Brien, In arraigning
LansdOwne before the bar Of Canadian
opinion, was only emphasizing the ar
raignment of the British parliament be-
fore the intelligent and informed iudg-
ment of the nations. In making this sp-
peal Mr.. O'Brien has shown great
ssgacity, and profound knowledge OF
this great fact Of moral power In the
public opinion OF the instructed OF other
lands which no nation in this day can
afford to ignore, even in Its treatment OF
its own subjects.

MUST PAY TAXES.

The generally received opinion that
rational banks cannot be taxed and are
not taxed, is decidedly erroneous. The
national banking law under which ma
tional banks are organized, and do bus
mess, does not in any sense interfere
with the laws of any state In its regu-
lations for taxation OF its financial in
situations. 1t merely provides that the
states shall make no Determinations
against national banks, but shall ar
range their taxation on the same basis
that it taxes other property invested In
financial institutions. This matter has
recently attracted the attention OF the
United States supreme CORTLAND the re-
suit has been in accordance with the
law, as above referred TO. The required
notices of capital and liability, pub
lished by legal requirement at stated
intervals, have given the assessors
an opportunity to make their leVies as
at one time they could not, and it is
now almost as impossible for bank to
sVade the payment OF Its taxes rs for
the real estate owners. So long as the
same rate OF taxation is entered against
bank property as against real estate
there ia no discrimination and the assess
ment holds. The intention of the law is
to prevent unjust Determinations. The
banks doing business under nstional
banking laws do business with their
doors open, so to speak, while private
banking Institutions are not naked and
opened to the eyes Of those who assess
and collect the revenues of the state.
The whole intent OF the national bank
ing law was that this compelled oondi-
tion of the national banks should not
operate to their disadvantage in the
levying OF assessments. The national
banks, so far as the natioHal
banking laws are concerned, are under
the laws Of the state, unexempt, and
must pay such taxes as the state levies,
just as real estate does II the law is
burdensome, that is matter for the
state to adjust.

PUBLIC OPINION.

Now that O'Brien's work in Canada is
about accomplished, 1t is in order to
study the situation and learn what NAV
be legitimately taught thereby. The
first lesson is evidently thIs-The Irish
have determined to appeal from the mar
row sectiOnalism of British opinion to
the judgment of the civilized world.

raigning Lord LandsdOwne at the bar of
Canadian opinion and Judgment that a
verdict might be pronounced upon him

ment in England and the result upon
public opinion at home and abroad. A
most radical and favorable change in
the opinions Of the masses OF English
men on this subject Of Irish home rule
has been effected within the past two
years. From being hostile, or at best In
different towards Ireland's demands. the
British masses have become interested
spectators of a struggle which is gain

prolonged, until it has captured the
bulk Of the great commonalty of Britain
and won decided approval at their
hands. In America, the instructed sense
